Not your doctor, so obviously I bow to medical expertise, but you don't *look* to my concerned mother's eye like you are in any way dangerously thin. I know that you get a lot of exercise due to the aforementioned bike and dancing, so the fact that you run on the skinnier (more muscular) side is all to the good in my opinion.

Now that said, the easiest way to gain way is to eat a bit more, but only if you're actually wanting that food and not feeling uncomfortably full after eating all the time. If you're not eating because you don't *feel* hungry (because the medication is suppressing your appetite) then you need to schedule and force your food. If your'e not eating "enough" because you're simply full and had plenty of fuel, then personally I'd not worry about it.

I assure you that due to genetics, you'll be fighting to lose weight soon enough in your life. I had EXACTLY the same problem (minus the ADD drugs) up through my early 20's and now I'm fighting to make 60 pounds go away so that I'm at the high end of the "healthy" weight range, so take everything *I* say about food with a grain of full fat salt and buttered popcorn!!

I love you
your
Mom
